Written by the stellar team of Neil Simon/Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh, the musical Little Me, originally

Live Girl,” and “The Other Side of the Tracks” to the catalogue of American pop standards and for comedian
Sid Caesar’s Tony-nominated turn playing six different characters.
Little Me is the autobiography of the optimistic, yet spectacularly accident-prone, Hollywood star Belle
Poitrine (née Schlumfert), who rises from poverty on the wrong side of the tracks - to wealth, culture and a
position in society, wooing many men along the way.
Directed by Shannon McNutt, who has worked extensively throughout Southeast Michigan, teaches in Canton,
and is a professional actress herself, Little Me will run from July 11-13, 18-20, 25-27 in West Park. All shows
start at 7:00p.m. with picnicking beginning at 5:30p.m. The rest of the production team includes JP Hitesman

All seniors in the Milan area are cordially invited to participate in the Milan Senior Citizen’s Club activities. We
meet each 1st and 3rd Friday of the month throughout the year. Our monthly get-togethers consist of a
potluck dinner, followed by a short business meeting, followed by Bingo and Euchre games. Our fun-filled
evenings are held in the Great Room at the Milan Senior Center. Members usually begin arriving at 5:00pm,
using the rear door, and eat at 5:30pm. The evening normally ends before 9:00pm, so it doesn’t get too late
for anyone. Please bring your own table service and utensils.
